30/30 Wrap Up

Tropical Whimsy Block #4
Berry Barn Designs hosted a 30/30 challenge (sew 30 minutes a day for 30 days) this month and I really enjoyed it. My goal was "to spend 30 minutes each day working on a sewing/quilting project that appeals to me that day. I have some ongoing quilt projects that I might work on, a couple of spring skirt patterns I want to make, and I might start working on a new quilt design." and I kind of accomplished it, but officially I did not because I missed a couple days and didn't get any farther than pre-washing fabric for the skirts. 

However, I did enjoy more sewing time this month than I usually manage (and all time spent sewing is "me time" in my book) and got a ton of stuff done. 

  •  I got several quilts to the point of hand sewing binding (pictures when they are all done) including a long-time UFO, Sam's quilt, and a baby quilt I hadn't even started 30 days ago
  • I paper-pieced 3 circles for my Tropical Whimsy quilt
  • I am almost finished quilting my AQG mystery quilt
  • I got all my sleeves and labels sewn on my quilts for my Guild Show
  • Quilting in Progress on AQG Mystery 2014
  • I visited other 30/30 participant blogs (and was inspired by all the beautiful work) and had lots of new visitors here at Urban Quilter

  7. Mary, I'm really glad to have had you working on the challenge with us all this past month - you got a lot done! (Those paper pieced circles alone would've taken me the whole month - you must be quite good at them : )

    1. Thanks Sarah! I've really enjoyed the challenge. The circles have generated a lot of comments -- I really like to do paper piecing, but it has been a great bonus to get so many compliments!
